AzhwArs – glories and history

 

Long live the AzhwArs, long live the AchAryas, Long live their srIsUkthis (works – dhivya prabhandhams, sthOthrams, vyAkyAnams) which are for the upliftment of the entire world. Let them co-exist along with the divine and pure samskritha vEdhams.

 

As nampiLLai shows in his eedu mahA grantham avathArikai, nammAzhwAr who is the leader of AzhwArs was hand picked by emperumAn from this samsAram and sarvEsvaran blesses him with divine blemishless knowledge for the purpose of propagating the divine message uninterrupted devotion to emperumAn.

 

This is a humble effort from adiyen to bring out the glories and the history of AzhwArs as explained mainly in 6000padi guru paramparA prabhAvam (written by pinbazhAgiya perumAL jeeyar) and vyAkyAnams. adiyen is very grateful to all the grantha kAlakshEpa AchAryas who imparted this valuable sampradhAyam knowledge into adiyen. In addition to the AzhwArs, as

 

shown by our pUrvAchAryas, emperumAnAr’s charithram and vaibhavam are also included.

 

Meditating on the lotus feet of asmadhAchAryan srImath paramahamsa ithyAdhi pattarpirAnrAmAnuja jIyar (29th pattam, vAnamAmalai mutt), adiyen is submitting this small work at the thiruvadis of Srimath paramahamsa ithyAdhi kaliyan rAmAnuja jeeyar swAmy (30^th pattam, varthamAna swAmy, vAnamAmalai mutt).
